The availability of public charging and refuelling infrastructure is a recognized barrier to ZEV adoption across Canada. As of August 2022, there were approximately 22,000 public chargers and six hydrogen refuelling stations installed in Canada, which is significantly less than the forecasted needs to support ZEV adoption.
The two programs will be accessed through a single federal window, with proposals that satisfy the following criteria directed to the CIB for consideration: Large-scale implementations (multiple locations, total capital costs more than $10 million) Delivered by private-sector proponents Revenue generating
The goals of the initiative are to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions by accelerating the private sector’s rollout of large-scale ZEV chargers and hydrogen refuelling stations, spur the market for private investment and support economic opportunities. Nearly one quarter of Canada’s GHG emissions are produced by the transportation sector. Transitioning from gas and diesel-powered GHG-emitting vehicles to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) powered by electricity or hydrogen represents a key opportunity to reduce those emissions. To capitalize on this, the federal government has set a broad policy goal of accelerating the adoption of ZEVs in Canada and is seeking to add 50,000 new chargers and refuelling stations in the near term.
